The city of Berlin looks back on a changeable history. It was medieval market place and residence for emperors and kings. Its developing into a pulsating modern metropolis was stopped by the Nazis. War destruction the division of the city and the separated new beginning and rebuilding left its mark on the cityscape until today. Over the last years Berlin got another new face since it has been built up to a representative capital city.
